SICK Flexi Compact User Manual

The following configuration groups are available
•
Of
fline configuration
•
Online configuration
•
Security configuration
Offline configuration
All offline configuration parameters are written to the safety controller using the Transfer
to device function. The offline configuration includes, for example, all parameters of the
hardware configuration.
These parameters can only be configured in the configuration software.
To configure the parameters, no connection to the safety controller must exist. Only
establish a connection to the safety controller when you want to transfer the configura‐
tion.
The application is stopped while the configuration is transferred to the safety controller.
The offline configuration is stored in the SmartPlug. A (defective) module can be
replaced with a compatible module without having to reconfigure the device. The offline
configuration must be compatible with the physical safety controller.
Within the offlline configuration, a distinction is made between the following configura‐
tion data.
Configuration data:
•
Safety configuration
Configuration data that affect the safety function of a device, e.g., configuration of
s
afety capable inputs, safety outputs, logic, …
•
S
tandard configuration
Configuration data that affect the non-safety function of a device, e.g., configura‐
t
ion of test outputs, configuration of non-safe modules.
•
N
on-functional configuration
Configuration data that have no effect on the functioning of the device, e.g. tag
name
s, comments in the logic, project information of the user
Online configuration
Each of the online configuration parameters have their own transfer option and can
be individually written to the safety controller. The online configuration includes, for
example, the parameters relating to the network settings.
These parameters can be configured in the configuration software or via a module with
a display.
To configure the parameters using the configuration software, a connection to the
safety controller must exist.
The application does not need to be stopped while the configuration is transferred to
the safety controller.
The online configuration is saved in and read back from the SmartPlug using the mod‐
ule position and the module type. If the module position is maintained, a (defective)
module can be replaced with a compatible module without having to reconfigure the
device. If the module position is changed, the saved parameters will not work. If, for
example, the module position of a gateway is changed, the connection parameters
need to be reconfigured before a connection to the safety controller can be established.
The old module positions are corrected when writing an offline configuration.
If online configuration parameters are configured without a SmartPlug inserted, these
settings will only apply temporarily until the safety controller is restarted or a SmartPlug
is inserted.
